Happy Summer Friends!

Good bye my little Kinder Gems!  I have truly enjoyed my time teaching your children; they have grown so much and in more ways than one. I feel sad to see them go, but I look forward to seeing them in the yard next year as they go through the journey of Senior Kindergarten! Thank you for your support this year from providing snacks, to joining us on field trips, to being patient as I try my hand at this new way of communicating, and supporting your child with their new responsibilities connected with school. I have had a great year with your child and know that I am going to miss them horribly! What a dynamic group of kids! We are so lucky.........

Happy Summer Everyone!

Party Time!

The end is sooooo near; time flies!  Our last classroom party is on the 27th of June! It is really just a big old snack for the kids and a free play with a twist of tidying up! Now that has party written all over it!

The following families have volunteered to provide snacks for the day:

Cheese & Crackers:    The Janoska's

Veggies & Dip:           The Smith's

Cupcakes:                    oops...family moved. Anyone interested?

Cookies:                      The Wojcik's

Juice & Cups:              The Walker's

Fruit:                            open...anyone able?

There are a few open spots; if anyone is interested please just send me a note in your child's note tote. Thank you so much. On behalf of the children and myself, we are so greatful for the wonderful treats that have been provided throughout the school year! 

Is It Warm Enough For You?

Actually too warm! Due to the heatwave, we are having to postpone our fieldtrip to Kinburn Berries until Tuesday June 26th. I know the children have been waiting patiently, so this should be interesting! Please send your new permission form back as soon as possible.

House Cleaning

I have to say....sorry for the amounts of things that I have been hoarding away in the classroom. Over the next few days I will be sending my stacks of their work home! It is amazing how quickly the year goes; I can't believe we are on the last leg!

And...

Another one joins the group!

Happy 5th Birthday Logan!



Dental Health

Just a heads up about the visitor we will be expecting in the classroom today or tomorrow.

The following is information provided by the school board:

A registered dental hygienist from Ottawa Public Health, will provide a dental screening using a tongue depressor and non-latex gloves on June 11 & 12, 2012. Only children identified as having dental needs will bring home a form. Follow-up school visits by the dental hygienist for individual children may be done. This does not replace regular dental visits with your family dentist. This is offered in accordance with the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport, Mandatory Health Programs under the Health Protection and Promotion Act. Personal Health Information is collected under the authority of the Health Protection and Promotion Act and will be used for the purpose of dental assessment, treatment and oral hygiene instruction, and for statistical purposes. Questions concerning the collection and use of this information should be directed to the Program Manager, 400-1580 Merivale Rd., Ottawa, ON, tel.: 613-580-6744 ext 23511.

As a follow up to this visit, we have invited a Public Health Nurse to deliver a child friendly lesson on dental health for June 19th and 20th. We will also be sending your child home with their own little loot bag full of goodies provided by Colgate!
